Notes

Make sure you have a tenderloin and NOT a pork loin roast.
The pork may be a slightly pink in the center, but is safe to eat if it is 145 degrees F. You can cook it a little longer if you like pork done more, but it may not be as tender. The temperature will rise a little as it rests.
For more flavor, I like to top the pork with a little butter as it rests. It makes the juices even more flavorful.
